Interim Management Solutions

Starting in Holland in the 1970's interim management was initially used to circumnavigate the existing employment regulations when employees were protected by long notice periods, so businesses experienced large costs if they wanted to terminate an employee. The practice of hiring managers on an interim basis was developed as a cost effective solution to the changing needs of businesses.
They bring many benefits and can be working within a few days rather than weeks or months. They bring expert knowledge and experience of the problems clients may be facing. Interim managers are usually more than qualified for the role and have faced similar challenges many times before. They will be able to have an immediate, positive effect from the outset, minimising the risk of error and ensuring success.
The very qualities that make Interim management attractive to clients make it difficult to get a detailed view of the market. The fragmented nature of the industry makes it difficult to get a definitive picture A further complicating factor is that on average Interim managers find two thirds of their work direct from clients, with only a third of assignments coming through Providers and other intermediaries. Many Interims never obtain assignments through Providers, and their activities may therefore go unrecorded in any statistical compilation. However, the consensus estimates the total market for Interim management services at approximately £500m pa in UK with sustained long-term growth.

Interims managers operate on a freelance basis, and are either self-employed or work through their own limited companies. Interims managers are not temporary employees, but are professionals in business on their own account, with the risks and rewards that that implies. They are responsible for their own arrangements for holiday, pension, health insurance etc, and will normally carry management professional indemnity insurance
An effective option when a company needs extra resources and or specialist skills at short notice however interim assignments fall into two types, gap-filling, and project management, helping the client achieve change, such as turnaround, MBO, IT systems upgrade, business process re-engineering lean transitions etc interim management is different from consultancy, as interim managers work in hands-on roles, where they are part of the client's management team, while consultants are purely advisory; however, most senior interim managers have the experience and skills to combine the two roles by both designing and implementing the solution.
